Chapter 136 0133 [Bold Idea]

In front of the barracks, several long queues lined up.

Hundreds of soldiers were fully armed and maintained order all around.

Han Zhenduan sat behind a wooden table and told a thin young man, "Take off your shoes!"

"Why...why take off your shoes."

A trace of panic flashed in the young man's eyes.

Without waiting for Han Zhen to speak, the soldier on the side said sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!"

"I take it off."

The young man muttered and took off his shoes reluctantly.

"Stand up straight!"

The soldier gave a warning, and then took a straight wooden stick and put it behind the young man.

Seeing that the wooden stick was a little higher, Han Zhen waved his hand: "Unqualified, next one!"

Don't think the ancients are too short, the requirement of 1.7 meters is not very high.

Northerners are taller.

In the early Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin had a height standard for selecting the imperial army. The four armies of Tianwu, Pengri, Shenwei, and Longwei were the elite among the elite. Among them, the Tianwu Army had the highest requirements, and soldiers should not be less than 5.8 Song feet, which is 1.84 meters.The minimum height requirement for Dragon Guards is 5.7 Song Chi, or 1.805 meters.

The remaining Gongshengjun is 1.79 meters, and the 1.74 meters of Shenruijun...

Even third-rate troops such as Guangjie Army, Weisheng Army, Kerong Army, and Flying Cavalry Army have a height requirement of 5.4 Song Chi, which is more than 1.72 meters.

After the skinny young man left with an unwilling expression on his face, a man at the back stepped forward.

Seemingly confident in himself, he took off his shoes without warning.

As a result, when the soldier measured it with a wooden stick, he was still an inch shorter.

However, although this person is not tall enough, his body is thick and strong, and he can be trained as a shield hand or a strongman.

Han Zhen asked with a pen, "what's your name, how old are you, where do you live?"

The man answered clearly: "My name is Niu Ba, I am 21 this year, and I live in Yangzhuang."

After recording the other party's information in the register, Han Zhen ordered: "Let's go back first, and report to the army at midnight tomorrow!"

"Am I chosen?"

Niu Ba was taken aback and scratched his head.

Han Zhen nodded: "Well, it's chosen!"

"I chose, I chose!"

After reacting, Niu Ba was suddenly overjoyed, which aroused the envy of the people in the back row.

Yes, it's envy.

For them, once they choose it, it means that they can have enough food and their families can live a good life.

Da da da!
Just as he was about to call the next one, there was a sound of horseshoes.

I saw two fast horses coming towards the county seat, they were Luo Sha and Wang He.

After returning to the county seat yesterday evening, Han Zhen had another drink with them. He thought that the two of them would sleep until the sun was up, but they didn't expect to wake up so early.

"Liu Qi, come here."

After putting down his pen and calling Liu Kai, who was watching the fun, to take his place, Han Zhen stood up and greeted him.

Han Zhen smiled and said, "Why doesn't Commander Luo sleep a little longer?"

"Brother introduced the way, how can brother still sleep."

Luo Sha joked with a smile, then looked at the several long dragons in front of the barracks, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Army expansion!"

Han Zhen didn't hide anything, and admitted it openly.

Luo Sha thought, and laughed aloud: "Right now the situation is not peaceful, it is indeed necessary to expand the army."

While talking, the three entered the barracks all the way.

Han Zhen pointed to the copper coins piled up outside the warehouse, and said: "The ordnance was inspected yesterday. Except for 35 pieces that were seriously damaged, the rest are all right. The money has been prepared, a total of 620 five guan. stop."

Glancing at the copper coins piled up like a hill, Luo Sha pretended to be displeased and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? Brother, don't you believe me?"

The business of 8000 guan has been discussed, how can Han Zhen lose more than [-] guan?
"Luo commands the atmosphere!"

Han Zhen stretched out his thumb and praised.

"Go and call those Qiu Ba, and put the copper coins into the cart."

After Luo Sha gave an order, he turned his head and asked, "Did those soldiers under Brother's command not cause trouble for Brother?"

"No."

Han Zhen shook his head, feeling a little speechless.

This fellow Luo Sha was completely dismissive of the shopkeeper, and the five hundred soldiers were thrown in the barracks without even looking at it.

Last night, all of them were screaming with hunger. Nie Dong had no choice but to call the cook and give them each a bowl of porridge.

"That's good."

Luo Sha nodded.

After Wang He gathered five hundred soldiers and loaded the baskets of copper coins onto the wooden cart, Luo Sha cupped his hands and said, "Brother has gone back. If you come to the county next time, brother, you must let me know. When the time comes, what will you do?" Dong, please treat your brother to a meal of wine."

"Then it's settled!"

Looking at Luo Sha's leaving back, Han Zhen smiled.

……

……

It took a day and a night to transport more than 30 vehicles of ordnance.

It will be much faster to go back and pack lightly.

In the evening, Luo Sha hurried back to Yidu County.

Let Wang He lead the soldiers back to the barracks first, while Luo Sha himself brought more than a dozen people and escorted more than 8000 copper coins covered with oilcloth into the city.

All the way to the government office, Luo Sha got off his horse and commanded: "Move all the copper coins into the backyard."

After all, he walked straight towards the study.

After waiting in the study for a while, Zhao Ting arrived late.

Sitting behind the desk, Zhao Ting slowly asked, "How is it going?"

Luo Sha cupped his hands and said, "I'm reporting to Mr. Zhao, it's been done, and I've got a total of 620 yuan. All people with humble jobs and upright orders will move into the backyard."

Zhao Ting asked again: "Is the finishing touch done?"

"Mr. Zhao is relieved. There was a fire in the barracks the night before. Unfortunately, the arsenal was burned down, and all the ordnance was burned in the fire."

"Ok!"

A look of satisfaction flashed in Zhao Ting's eyes, he nodded and said, "You did a good job in this matter, so you can keep a small amount of the money."

Fraction?

Luo Sha sneered in his heart.

Just like what he had thought before, what he resold was all the ordnance in his navy, and in the end he only got a few hundred guan.

Fortunately, he was alert and went to Linzi County in person to negotiate a big deal, otherwise he would have lost money to his grandma's house.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhao Ting frowned slightly and said, "Why, too little?"

"Mr. Zhao misunderstood. It is a humble honor to be able to serve Mr. Zhao. How dare you ask for money."

After negotiating a big deal with Han Zhen, he no longer looks down on these small money, so it's better to be a favor.

Sure enough, upon hearing what he said, Zhao Ting stroked his beard and smiled and said, "That's right, it's not in vain that the government values ​​you."

Luo Sha said: "If Mr. Zhao doesn't order, the humble officer will leave first."

"You just step back."

Zhao Ting waved his hand.

"Retire from humble position!"

After Luo Sha left, Zhao Ting got up and went to the backyard.

I saw baskets of golden copper coins piled up in the backyard.

More than 8000 guan, which is equivalent to picking up for nothing, then Han Zhen is indeed a rich boy!

Zhen Haijun's ordnance can make so much money, if they sell the Wuwei Army's, I'm afraid they can earn at least [-] to [-] guan.

No!

Soon, Zhao Ting rejected this idea.

Although he is greedy for money, he also cares about his own life.

It's not peaceful right now, that Zhang Wanxian has gathered hundreds of thousands of people, eyeing Yidu County covetously, and the Wuwei Army is still needed to guard the county, so the military weapons of the Wuwei Army can't be moved for the time being.

It's just that after tasting the sweetness of trading without money, he has become a little addicted, and all he thinks about is how to make money.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had received a note from Zhuo Ben, the head of Qiancheng County, today.

He knew the contents and secrets of the excerpts clearly.

It's nothing more than Han Zhen calling himself Qingzhou Army and rushing to the aid of Qiancheng County.

However, it reminded him of Chang Yukun's strategy of killing three birds with one stone when he partnered with Han Zhen when he was plotting the Xu family's business.

For a moment, a bold idea came to Zhao Ting's mind.

This matter has certain risks, but if it succeeds, he can at least gain one hundred thousand guan.

Zhao Ting stood where he was, his eyes struggling, his expression uncertain.

After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and muttered to himself: "He Chang Yukun can do it, why can't this government do it? But this matter is not trivial, and it needs to be discussed in the long run."

……

……

"Chang Yukun, a shameless old thief, pretends to be crazy with me!"

In the backyard of the county government office, Xie Ding was full of anger, and slammed the letter in his hand on the stone table.

The old servant on the side persuaded: "Ah Lang, you are hurting yourself by being angry."

"I thought he, Chang Yukun, was a capable official, but he didn't want to have a nest with that Zhao Ting snake mouse, so he didn't know Han Zhen, so don't think I didn't know that Zhu Ji was his brother-in-law of Chang Yukun. If If I don’t know him, then Han Zhen will go all the way to Qiancheng County to save his wife and brother?”

The more Xie Ding spoke, the more angry he became, his chest fluctuated.

Seeing this, the old servant hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him calm down, for fear that his family, Alang, would be angry.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, Xie Ding let out a long sigh: "If there is something wrong with Zhu'er, how should I explain to my sister and brother-in-law?"

The old servant comforted: "Ah Lang, the auspicious people in the small yamen have their own auras, so nothing will happen to them."

"Of course he'll be fine."

At this moment, Xie Ding had calmed down, and said with a sneer, "I don't know what Han Zhen is thinking. He just wants to drag me, Xie and Liu, into the water."

"What do you mean, Ah Lang?" The old servant was startled.

"Heh, let's see what Zhu Ji bought, and think about the name of the Qingzhou Army!"

After being reminded by Xie Ding, the old servant recalled it carefully, and was suddenly startled.

Grain, pig iron, coarse salt, cowhide and horns!
The old servant looked horrified, and lowered his voice, "This... is this a rebellion?"

Xie Ding said quietly: "Nowadays, our Great Song Dynasty has internal and external troubles, wars are raging everywhere, and some people can't sit still."

"Since that's the case, why did Zhao Ting and Chang Yukun help him cover it up? Could it be that they..."

"That's not it."

Xie Ding waved his hands, and speculated: "These two are officials ordered by the imperial court, and they will definitely not turn to thieves. The reason why they helped them cover up is nothing more than Han Zhen's lure them."
